    I am a protoss player and I am having difficulty fighting the terrans. Do you have any good tactics that can be used against terran?
    Other than that, i think terran overpowers protoss. Marauder just counters any infantries with a bit of micro, vikings, which are easy to build, counters both void rays and carriers, and the counter unit which is pheonix generally have no use against ground units except for harassing. Ghosts' emp also screwes every protoss units in the range. What do you think about this?

    Dunno, but I've seen players get 3 gate into stargate, and makes like 2 phoenixes while pushing out. They pick off any dropships then pick up the marauders. Yeah, I hate marauders too.

    Just get dark templars and rush/harass them. That should get you plenty of wins.

    I was pretty sure I typed a reply in here some time ago, but I could be mistaken... Anyway, depending on the tech path you go and the tech path the terran follows you have quite a few choice as PvT(which is currently my favourite matchup)...


    Hmmm... Basicly, I'm quite tired to retype stuff I've typed, but I did make a quick forum search and found tons of similar threads with regards to PvT, here's a few:

    Now, these are all the threads I found on PvT by doing a quick search on the strategy and protoss forums... It's generally a good idea to do such a research yourself before making a new thread, so as not to clutter the forums too much... And to avoid having people post the same things over and over :p

    Oh well, hope this helped... If you don't get enough ideas or help from these threads, just reply to the one you consider the most relevent with any further trouble you might have...

    my advise is to stop thinking in terms of counters, yes maruders can kill stalkers well, but the idea of simply haveing more **** than the other guy works out well to. though i have been generally rushing dts against terran as a defence vs drops, which allows me to confidently expand and forces the terran to consider detection or die ( which most of the time constists of one or two turrets or ravens) and generally with these ou can simply counter attack. but the main reason for the dts is so i can 3 base 10 gate and punish the terran with templars.


    take a look at day 9 doing a cast of the dream cast finals thats epic PvT.

    also submit a replay your prolly making a mistake in macro that can only be seen by people who haave more general experience.

    btw what galaxy said is not what im saying as that is a trick ( if it works you win if it doesnt you lose), which is bad as it doesnt work well above bronze silver, im using dts to acheive something that allows me to win later on, in this case expanding, in other cases it may be to get HT with storm and amulet. or get blink stalkers... ect

    ok thanks for reply people i hope this will help in my future matches :) But the part about the dark templar harrass, I thought it was difficult because the orbital command had scanner sweep?

    It wastes that scanner sweep though and if you send them in 1 by 1 and possibly at 2 locations at the same time, you can do some good amount of damage...

    DTs are generally good to have for other reasons too... Since they can be warped in anywhere, anytime, you can use them for defense, or have 1-2 in your main army mix(behind the zealots, mind you so you don't lose your dts before they engage if the enemy has a raven, and if they don't then you'll prolly do some good amount of damage nevertheless - I remember losing my whole army but sniping the raven and my 3-4 dts clearing off the remaining marauder/marine forces saving an expansion at least a few times)...
